NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
(Unaudited)
(1) The condensed statements included herein have been prepared
by the Partnership, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to a fair statement of the results of
operations for the interim period, on a basis consistent with
the annual audited statements. The adjustments made to these
condensed statements consist only of normal recurring
adjustments. Certain information, accounting policies, and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to such rules and regulations, although the Partnership
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. It is suggested that
these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and the summary of significant
accounting policies and notes thereto included in the
Partnership's latest annual report on Form 10-KSB.
(2) Organization -
AEI Real Estate Fund XVI Limited Partnership (Partnership)
was formed to acquire and lease commercial properties to
operating tenants. The Partnership's operations are managed
by AEI Fund Management XVI, Inc. (AFM), the Managing General
Partner of the Partnership. Robert P. Johnson, the
President and sole shareholder of AFM, serves as the
Individual General Partner of the Partnership. An affiliate
of AFM, AEI Fund Management, Inc. (AEI), performs the
administrative and operating functions for the Partnership.
The terms of the Partnership offering call for a
subscription price of $1,000 per Limited Partnership Unit,
payable on acceptance of the offer. The Partnership
commenced operations on February 6, 1987 when minimum
subscriptions of 2,000 Limited Partnership Units
($2,000,000) were accepted. The Partnership's offering
terminated on November 6, 1987 when the maximum subscription
limit of 15,000 Limited Partnership Units ($15,000,000) was
reached.
Under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the
Limited Partners and General Partners contributed funds of
$15,000,000 and $1,000, respectively. During the operation
of the Partnership, any Net Cash Flow, as defined, which the
General Partners determine to distribute will be distributed
90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners;
provided, however, that such distributions to the General
Partners will be subordinated to the Limited Partners first
receiving an annual, noncumulative distribution of Net Cash
Flow equal to 10% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution, as
defined, and, provided further, that in no event will the
General Partners receive less than 1% of such Net Cash Flow
per annum. Distributions to Limited Partners will be made
pro rata by Units.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
(2) Organization - (Continued)
Any Net Proceeds of Sale, as defined, from the sale or
financing of the Partnership's properties which the General
Partners determine to distribute will, after provisions for
debts and reserves, be paid in the following manner: (i)
first, 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partners until the Limited Partners receive an amount equal
to: (a) their Adjusted Capital Contribution plus (b) an
amount equal to 6% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution
per annum, cumulative but not compounded, to the extent not
previously distributed from Net Cash Flow; (ii) next, 99% to
the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners until
the Limited Partners receive an amount equal to 14% of their
Adjusted Capital Contribution per annum, cumulative but not
compounded, to the extent not previously distributed; (iii)
next, to the General Partners until cumulative distributions
to the General Partners under Items (ii) and (iii) equal 15%
of cumulative distributions to all Partners under Items (ii)
and (iii). Any remaining balance will be distributed 85% to
the Limited Partners and 15% to the General Partners.
Distributions to the Limited Partners will be made pro rata
by Units.
For tax purposes, profits from operations, other than
profits attributable to the sale, exchange, financing,
refinancing or other disposition of the Partnership's
property, will be allocated first in the same ratio in
which, and to the extent, Net Cash Flow is distributed to
the Partners for such year. Any additional profits will be
allocated 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General
Partners. In the event no Net Cash Flow is distributed to
the Limited Partners, 90% of each item of Partnership
income, gain or credit for each respective year shall be
allocated to the Limited Partners, and 10% of each such item
shall be allocated to the General Partners. Net losses from
operations will be allocated 98% to the Limited Partners and
2% to the General Partners.
For tax purposes, profits arising from the sale, financing,
or other disposition of the Partnership's property will be
allocated in accordance with the Partnership Agreement as
follows: (i) first, to those Partners with deficit balances
in their capital accounts in an amount equal to the sum of
such deficit balances; (ii) second, 99% to the Limited
Partners and 1% to the General Partners until the aggregate
balance in the Limited Partners' capital accounts equals the
sum of the Limited Partners' Adjusted Capital Contributions
plus an amount equal to 14% of their Adjusted Capital
Contributions per annum, cumulative but not compounded, to
the extent not previously allocated; (iii) third, to the
General Partners until cumulative allocations to the General
Partners equal 15% of cumulative allocations. Any remaining
balance will be allocated 85% to the Limited Partners and
15% to the General Partners. Losses will be allocated 98%
to the Limited Partners and 2% to the General Partners.
The General Partners are not required to currently fund a
deficit capital balance. Upon liquidation of the Partnership
or withdrawal by a General Partner, the General Partners
will contribute to the Partnership an amount equal to the
lesser of the deficit balances in their capital accounts or
1% of total Limited Partners' and General Partners' capital
contributions.

(3) Investments in Real Estate -
The Partnership owns a 35% interest in a J.T. McCord's
restaurant in Mesquite, Texas and a 100% interest in a J.T.
McCord's restaurant in Irving, Texas. In December, 1995,
the Partnership took possession of the properties after the
lessee was unable to perform under the terms of the Leases.
In July, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement to
sell the J.T. McCord's in Mesquite, Texas to an unrelated
third party. In September, 1996, the Agreement was
terminated by the purchaser. The property was listed for
sale or lease until March, 1997 when it was re-leased to
Texas Sports City Cafe, Ltd. under a triple net lease
agreement with a primary term of 12 years which may be
renewed for up to two consecutive five-year periods. The
Partnership's share of the annual base rent is $17,500 for
the first lease year and $31,500 for the second lease year,
with rent increases in each subsequent lease year of either
three percent of the prior year's rent or three percent of
gross receipts in years two and three and six percent of
gross receipts thereafter, to the extent they exceed the
base rent.
On December 22, 1997, the Partnership sold the J.T. McCord's
restaurant in Irving, Texas to an unrelated third party.
The Partnership received net sales proceeds of $741,635
which resulted in a net loss of $109,144. At the time of
sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of the
property was $1,147,333 and $296,554, respectively. While
the properties were being re-leased or sold, the Partnership
was responsible for the real estate taxes and other costs
required to maintain the properties.
The Partnership owns a 55.0958% interest in a restaurant in
Waco, Texas, which was previously closed. In June 1995, the
Partnership re-leased the restaurant to Tex-Mex Cocina of
Waco, L.C. The Lease Agreement had a primary term of
eighteen months with an annual rental payment of $29,752.
The Partnership could also receive additional rent if gross
receipts from the property exceeded certain specified
amounts. In December, 1997, the lessee elected not to
exercise the renewal option in the lease. The restaurant
was closed and is listed for sale or lease. While the
property is vacant, the Partnership is responsible for the
real estate taxes and other costs required to maintain the
property.
As of December 31, 1997, based on an analysis of market
conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value of
the Partnership's interest in the Waco property was
approximately $385,600. In the fourth quarter of 1997, a
charge to operations for real estate impairment of $100,000
was recognized, which is the difference between the book
value at December 31, 1997 of $485,600 and the estimated
fair value of $385,600. The charge was recorded against the
cost of the land and building.

In January, 1996, the Cheddar's restaurant in Indianapolis,
Indiana was destroyed by a fire. The Partnership reached an
agreement with the tenant and insurance company which calls
for termination of the Lease, demolition of the building and
payment to the Partnership of $407,282 for the building and
equipment and $49,688 for lost rent. The property will not
be rebuilt and the Partnership listed the land for sale.
The Partnership recognized net disposition proceeds of
$406,892 which resulted in a net gain of $88,207. At the
time of disposition, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation was $496,967 and $178,282, respectively. As of
December 31, 1997, based on an analysis of market conditions
in the area, it was determined the fair value of the
Partnership's interest in the land was approximately
$200,000. In the fourth quarter of 1997, a charge to
operations for real estate impairment of $54,000 was
recognized, which is the difference between the book value
at December 31, 1997 of $253,747 and the estimated fair
value of $200,000.
The Partnership owned a 30.8078% interest in a Sizzler
restaurant at the King's Island Theme Park near Cincinnati,
Ohio. In January, 1994, the Partnership closed the
restaurant and listed it for sale or lease. On January 23,
1997, the Partnership sold its interest in the property to
an unrelated third party. The Partnership received net sale
proceeds of $149,201, which resulted in a net loss of
$216,300, which was recognized as a real estate impairment
in the fourth quarter of 1996. Prior to the sale, the
Partnership was responsible for the real estate taxes and
other costs required to maintain the property.
During the first three months of 1998 and 1997, the
Partnership distributed $13,345 and $26,127 of the net sale
proceeds to the Limited and General Partners as a part of
their regular quarterly distributions, which represented a
return of capital of $0.95 and $1.85 per Limited Partnership
Unit, respectively.
In November, 1997, the Partnership entered into an agreement
to sell the Fuddruckers restaurant in St. Louis, Missouri to
an unrelated third party. In March, 1998, the agreement was
terminated by the purchaser.
In August, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement
to purchase a Caribou Coffee store in Atlanta, Georgia. The
property was acquired on August 15, 1997 for $1,247,571.
The property is leased to Caribou Coffee Company, Inc. under
a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 18 years and annual
rental payments of $142,025.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, as amended, net sale
proceeds may be reinvested in additional properties until a
date ten years after the date on which the offer and sale of
Units is terminated. This period expired on November 6,
1997. In February, 1998, the Managing General Partner
proposed an Amendment to the Limited Partnership Agreement
that would allow the Partnership to reinvest the majority of
the sale proceeds from the J.T. McCord's restaurant in
Irving, Texas and subsequent property sales in additional
properties. The proposed Amendment did not receive a
majority vote for adoption.
In April, 1997, the Partnership distributed $707,071 of net
sale proceeds to the Limited and General Partners, which
represented a return of capital of $50.29 per Limited
Partnership Unit.

(4) Payable to AEI Fund Management -
AEI Fund Management, Inc. performs the administrative and
operating functions for the Partnership. The payable to AEI
Fund Management represents the balance due for those
services. This balance is non-interest bearing and
unsecured and is to be paid in the normal course of
business.
(5) Deferred Income -
In June, 1994, Fuddruckers, Inc., the restaurant concept's
franchisor, acquired the operations of the Fuddruckers
restaurants in St. Louis, Missouri and Omaha, Nebraska, and
assumed the lease obligations from the original lessee. As
part of the agreement, the Partnership amended the Leases to
reduce the annual base rent from $109,033 to $92,164 for the
St. Louis property and $167,699 to $145,081 for the Omaha
property. The Partnership could receive additional rent in
the future if 10% of gross receipts from the properties
exceed the base rent. In consideration for the lease
assumption and amendment, the Partnership received a lump
sum payment from the original lessee of $299,723. The lump
sum payment will be recognized as income over the remainder
of the Lease terms which expire January 31, 2008 and
November 30, 2007, using the straight line method. As of
March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the Partnership has
recognized $83,295 and $77,742 of this payment as income.
At March 31, 1998, the remaining deferred income of $37,792
was prepaid rent related to certain other Partnership
properties.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, the
Partnership recognized rental income of $256,896 and $234,819,
respectively. During the same periods, the Partnership earned
investment income of $10,959 and $20,472, respectively. In 1998,
rental income increased as the result of rental income received
from the Caribou Coffee in Atlanta, Georgia, rental income
received from re-leasing the restaurant in Mesquite, Texas and
rent increases on four properties. This increase was offset by a
reduction in rental income due to the vacancy of the restaurant
in Waco, Texas, the expiration of lease guarantee insurance
policies on two properties in 1997, and the reduction of
percentage rent on one property in 1998. The increase in rental
income was offset by a decrease in investment income earned on
the net proceeds prior to the purchase of the additional
property.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)
The Partnership owns a 35% interest in a J.T. McCord's
restaurant in Mesquite, Texas and a 100% interest in a J.T.
McCord's restaurant in Irving, Texas. In December, 1995, the
Partnership took possession of the properties after the lessee
was unable to perform under the terms of the Leases. In July,
1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement to sell the J.T.
McCord's in Mesquite, Texas to an unrelated third party. In
September, 1996, the Agreement was terminated by the purchaser.
The property was listed for sale or lease until March, 1997 when
it was re-leased to Texas Sports City Cafe, Ltd. under a triple
net lease agreement with a primary term of 12 years which may be
renewed for up to two consecutive five-year periods. The
Partnership's share of the annual base rent is $17,500 for the
first lease year and $31,500 for the second lease year, with rent
increases in each subsequent lease year of either three percent
of the prior year's rent or three percent of gross receipts in
years two and three and six percent of gross receipts thereafter,
to the extent they exceed the base rent. In December, 1997, the
Irving property was sold as discussed below. While the
properties were being re-leased or sold, the Partnership was
responsible for the real estate taxes and other costs required to
maintain the properties.
The Partnership owns a 55.0958% interest in a restaurant
in Waco, Texas, which was previously closed. In June 1995, the
Partnership re-leased the restaurant to Tex-Mex Cocina of Waco,
L.C. The Lease Agreement had a primary term of eighteen months
with an annual rental payment of $29,752. The Partnership could
also receive additional rent if gross receipts from the property
exceeded certain specified amounts. In December, 1997, the
lessee elected not to exercise the renewal option in the lease.
The restaurant was closed and is listed for sale or lease. While
the property is vacant, the Partnership is responsible for the
real estate taxes and other costs required to maintain the
property.
As of December 31, 1997, based on an analysis of market
conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value of the
Partnership's interest in the Waco property was approximately
$385,600. In the fourth quarter of 1997, a charge to operations
for real estate impairment of $100,000 was recognized, which is
the difference between the book value at December 31, 1997 of
$485,600 and the estimated fair value of $385,600. The charge
was recorded against the cost of the land and building.
The Partnership owned a 30.8078% interest in a Sizzler
restaurant at the King's Island Theme Park near Cincinnati, Ohio.
In January, 1994, the Partnership closed the restaurant and
listed it for sale or lease. On January 23, 1997, the
Partnership sold its interest in the property to an unrelated
third party. The Partnership received net sale proceeds of
$149,201, which resulted in a net loss of $216,300, which was
recognized as a real estate impairment in the fourth quarter of
1996. Prior to the sale, the Partnership was responsible for the
real estate taxes and other costs required to maintain the
property.
During the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, the
Partnership paid Partnership administration expenses to
affiliated parties of $58,570 and $41,676, respectively. These
administration expenses include costs associated with the
management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting
requirements and correspondence to the Limited Partners. The
increase in expenses in 1998, when compared to 1997, is due to
expenses incurred in 1998 related to a proxy statement. During
the same periods, the Partnership incurred partnership
administration and property management expenses from unrelated
parties of $19,237 and $22,067, respectively. These expenses
represent direct payments to third parties for legal and filing
fees, direct administrative costs, outside audit and accounting
costs, taxes, insurance and other property costs.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)
As of March 31, 1998, the Partnership's annualized cash
distribution rate was 6.0%, based on the Adjusted Capital
Contribution. Distributions of Net Cash Flow to the General
Partners were subordinated to the Limited Partners as required in
the Partnership Agreement. As a result, 99% of distributions and
income were allocated to Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partners.
Inflation has had a minimal effect on income from
operations. It is expected that increases in sales volumes of the
tenants, due to inflation and real sales growth, will result in
an increase in rental income over the term of the leases.
Inflation also may cause the Partnership's real estate to
appreciate in value. However, inflation and changing prices may
also have an adverse impact on the operating margins of the
properties' tenants which could impair their ability to pay rent
and subsequently reduce the Partnership's Net Cash Flow available
for distributions.
AEI Fund Management, Inc. (AEI) performs all management
services for the Partnership. AEI is currently analyzing its
computer hardware and software systems to determine what, if any,
resources need to be dedicated regarding Year 2000 issues. The
Partnership does not anticipate any significant operational
impact or incurring material costs as a result of AEI becoming
Year 2000 compliant.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the
Partnership's cash balances increased $58,736 as the Partnership
distributed less cash to the Partners than it generated from
operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities
increased from $131,224 in 1997 to $215,688 in 1998 as a result
of an increase in income in 1998 and net timing differences in
the collection of payments from the lessees and the payment of
expenses, which were partially offset by an increase in expenses
in 1998.
The major components of the Partnership's cash flow from
investing activities are investments in real estate and proceeds
from the sale of real estate. During the three months ended
March 31, 1997, the Partnership generated cash flow from the sale
of real estate of $149,202.
In January, 1996, the Cheddar's restaurant in
Indianapolis, Indiana was destroyed by a fire. The Partnership
reached an agreement with the tenant and insurance company which
calls for termination of the Lease, demolition of the building
and payment to the Partnership of $407,282 for the building and
equipment and $49,688 for lost rent. The property will not be
rebuilt and the Partnership listed the land for sale. The
Partnership recognized net disposition proceeds of $406,892 which
resulted in a net gain of $88,207. At the time of disposition,
the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $496,967 and
$178,282, respectively. As of December 31, 1997, based on an
analysis of market conditions in the area, it was determined the
fair value of the Partnership's interest in the land was
approximately $200,000. In the fourth quarter of 1997, a charge
to operations for real estate impairment of $54,000 was
recognized, which is the difference between the book value at
December 31, 1997 of $253,747 and the estimated fair value of
$200,000.
On December 22, 1997, the Partnership sold the J.T.
McCord's restaurant in Irving, Texas to an unrelated third party.
The Partnership received net sales proceeds of $741,635 which
resulted in a net loss of $109,144. At the time of sale, the
cost and related accumulated depreciation of the property was
$1,147,333 and $296,554, respectively.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)
During the first three months of 1998 and 1997, the
Partnership distributed $13,345 and $26,127 of the net sale
proceeds to the Limited and General Partners as a part of their
regular quarterly distributions, which represented a return of
capital of $0.95 and $1.85 per Limited Partnership Unit,
respectively.
In August, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement
to purchase a Caribou Coffee store in Atlanta, Georgia. The
property was acquired on August 15, 1997 for $1,247,571. The
property is leased to Caribou Coffee Company, Inc. under a Lease
Agreement with a primary term of 18 years and annual rental
payments of $142,025.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, as amended, net
sale proceeds may be reinvested in additional properties until a
date ten years after the date on which the offer and sale of
Units is terminated. This period expired on November 6, 1997.
In February, 1998, the Managing General Partner proposed an
Amendment to the Limited Partnership Agreement that would allow
the Partnership to reinvest the majority of the sale proceeds
from the J.T. McCord's restaurant in Irving, Texas and subsequent
property sales in additional properties. The proposed Amendment
did not receive a majority vote for adoption.
In April, 1997, the Partnership distributed $707,071 of
net sale proceeds to the Limited and General Partners, which
represented a return of capital of $50.29 per Limited Partnership
Unit.
The Partnership's primary use of cash flow is distribution
and redemption payments to Partners. The Partnership declares
its regular quarterly distributions before the end of each
quarter and pays the distribution in the first week after the end
of each quarter. The Partnership attempts to maintain a stable
distribution rate from quarter to quarter. Redemption payments
are paid to redeeming Partners in the fourth quarter of each
year. The redemption payments generally are funded with cash
that would normally be paid as part of the regular quarterly
distributions. As a result, total distributions and
distributions payable have fluctuated from year to year due to
cash used to fund redemption payments. Effective April 1, 1997,
the Partnership's distribution rate was reduced from 6.5% to
6.0%. As a result, distributions during the first three months
of 1997 were higher when compared to the same period in 1998.
The Partnership may acquire Units from Limited Partners
who have tendered their Units to the Partnership. Such Units may
be acquired at a discount. The Partnership is not obligated to
purchase in any year more than 5% of the number of Units
outstanding at the beginning of the year. In no event shall the
Partnership be obligated to purchase Units if, in the sole
discretion of the Managing General Partner, such purchase would
impair the capital or operation of the Partnership.
During 1997, eleven Limited Partners redeemed a total of
75.3 Partnership Units for $44,105 in accordance with the
Partnership Agreement. The Partnership acquired these Units
using Net Cash Flow from operations. In prior years, a total of
ninety Limited Partners redeemed 1,005.3 Partnership Units for
$785,295. The redemptions increase the remaining Limited
Partners' ownership interest in the Partnership.
The continuing rent payments from the properties, together
with cash generated from the property sales, should be adequate
to fund continuing distributions and meet other Partnership
obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)
Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
The foregoing Management's Discussion and Analysis
contains various "forward looking statements" within the meaning
of federal securities laws which represent management's
expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including
statements regarding anticipated application of cash, expected
returns from rental income, growth in revenue, taxation levels,
the sufficiency of cash to meet operating expenses, rates of
distribution, and other matters. These, and other forward
looking statements made by the Partnership, must be evaluated in
the context of a number of factors that may affect the
Partnership's financial condition and results of operations,
including the following:
<bullet> Market and economic conditions which affect the value
of the properties the Partnership owns and the cash
from rental income such properties generate;
<bullet> the federal income tax consequences of rental income,
deductions, gain on sales and other items and the
affects of these consequences for investors;
<bullet> resolution by the General Partners of conflicts with
which they may be confronted;
<bullet> the success of the General Partners of locating
properties with favorable risk return characteristics;
<bullet> the effect of tenant defaults; and
<bullet> the condition of the industries in which the tenants of
properties owned by the Partnership operate.

Amendment. Of the 13,919 outstanding Units, 6,528 voted for
the Amendment, 3,980 voted against the Amendment and 448
abstained. As a result, the Amendment was not adopted.
